Well just have to wait. Jambo announced that he'd be upgrading the server by the end of the month.

I was up until 4 am last night catching up on posts. It was lightning fast. Now, with this many members logged on, you can see how much the server can handle...

and I have cable too...

Definitely. It's almost as if all of this server is on one NT/microsoft machine or something But the site does have a LOT of traffic going in/out when it's busy....I'm surprised there aren't separate servers for the larger forums (different gens, etc).

Ya I run at 7-800 kb and it takes forever to do anything. I end up giving up and leaving. I though the server was upgraded once already? I don't know? purehonda.com has 48,000 members and if FAST! Please Jambo help!! I love maxima.org!

I work at a hosting company and could help. I'm not sure what he is spending now, though we might be able to get a stronger server for less.

As mentioned in a previous post, we're going to be evaluating a dedicated server for Maxima.org. Our "family" has grown, and it's time to move on to a bigger and better environment for us to live in.

We've been given 2 weeks to evaluate this new server, and from what I've tested so far, the thing really screams. In addition, it will actually cost less than our current server per month!
Hope that helps.

BTW, how do I include a "quoted by" message? I couldn't find it in the vB code reference page. Thanks

Disable sigs in your user control panel. BTW, this is tons better than the old server. It was so slow, it kept apologising to us.

The new dedicated server will be online at the beginning of next month. Stay tuned!

BTW, we've been in the 1.7 million to 2.0 million page views per month range in the last 3 months!
